Membership options


Corporate Membership

We have three levels of corporate memberships available based on asset size (Asset Owner) or turnover (Non Asset Owner).  This removes the uncertainty over which category to choose from and makes sure all member organisations are in the category that reflects their size and status within the electricity supply industry.

The EEA offers your organisation and staff the opportunity to participate in setting technical and safety benchmarks. You’ll be given priority sponsorship opportunities at EEA events and discounted rates on event access.  You’ll also gain access to industry safety statistics and certain third-party datasets and reports.

As part of the Corporate Membership packages, there are ‘complimentary’ Individual (Full) and/or Associate Memberships included.  All Individual (Full) and Associate members will need to complete a membership application.  Additional memberships above the amount of complimentary memberships are at an additional cost of $220.00* per member per annum.
